Wednesday, June 29, 2005 I'm running out of pictures to take on the roof during lunchtime so here's a self-portrait. ) Taken with a Nokia 3650 Cameraphone - View all cameraphone pictures Comments Must...get...off...the...catnip! Got any treats? ) Taken with a Nokia 3650 Cameraphone - View all cameraphone pictures Comments Monday, June 27, 2005 One of the ways that you can tell that summer has arrived in Chicago is the presence of Vincent. He wears wild suits and waves at boat-loads of tourists as they pass beneath him on the State Street bridge. For the past four years I've seen him - you can't help but notice him in his *wild* suits. I have also seen him lurking in the back of the Studio 5 set - often during the morning weather forecast. For a while I wondered if I was the only one who could see him :) I knew that there HAD to be a story behind this guy, but previous google attemps were unsuccessful. Last Thursday I snapped this picture of him as I headed to Marina City to pick up my car. On a hunch, I googled "chicago state street bridge waving man in suit" and low and behold came across this article (and this article too) that explains his interesting story. Would you believe he's a computer programmer! even has his own web site! So for all of you Chicagoans who've wondered "who is that guy that wears the wild suits and waves at people?" - the mystery has been solved! Here's to you Mr. Wild-Suit-Wearing Bridge Waver Guy. ) Taken with a Nokia 3650 Cameraphone - View all cameraphone pictures Comments Wednesday, June 22, 2005 Continuing to make the best of "work from home summer" (long story short, office is moving and the "move out" date and the "move in" date didn't quite match) I spent lunch in the sun on the roof. ) The weather this week has been just about perfect - Check out the panoramic view from the roof!

I usually exercise during lunch, but today I took a relaxing break on the roof deck. ) Taken with a Nokia 3650 Cameraphone - View all cameraphone pictures Comments Saturday, June 18, 2005 Kudos to Andy for transforming our 140 foot balcony into a lush Parisian oasis. ) Taken with a Nokia 3650 Cameraphone - View all cameraphone pictures Comments Friday, June 17, 2005 In the spirit of friday cat blogging, here's a picture of Morgan from early this morning.

Not bad for a first attempt, but next time we might need to use more than one ND filter. 
Comments Wednesday, June 01, 2005 Harumph - our last day. Took a walk on the beach, packed, and headed to the airport. The airport is a series of 4-5 giant palapas ) Just because it's a thatched roof dwelling does not mean it needs to be low-tech. The whole place is a wireless hotespot. ) We sat outside, did a tad of shopping, and had a quesadilla (note to self, must find Oaxacan cheese at home). ) The departure area is nicely airconditioned compared to the rest of the airport which is outside. ) And here's the Continental Express jet we took to Houston. ) All of the handicrafts made it home safely - "real" trip pictures (in comparison to the phone pictures posted in the journal entries) to be posted in the next few days.
